Hello my lovelies!
First of all, I want to wish you all a Happy Easter!
I have an Easter card to share with you today.

I used Tilda with Egg and Chicken from the Little Easter Collection.
She is one of my faves from this collection and I just love coloring
her hair. I think I stamped more than 6 of this image, just to colored
her hair.

Is it Spring yet? Officially it is!
But weather-wise? I don't think so. We have been in the lower 20's this
week. And according to our weather man, we shouldn't put aside our
shovels just yet. Mmm... well, that's reassuring...

For my card today, I
used Happy Spring Tilda from the Butterfly Dreams Collection. This is
one of my first owned stamps and this is just the 2nd time I have inked
her. This is a flat card where I just insert a tag for the sentiment.

I made this card after New Years so and I totally forgot the DP I used but the Distress Ink colors are my usual faves.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

This is the pull out tag for the sentiment. The stitched hearts stamp is one of the oldies from Magnolia

My card for today is for a friend of ours is about to give birth anytime soon and this card is for them. I used Tilda's Family from the Princes and Princesses Collection. I made this a flat card with a pull-out tag for my sentiment.

When
I colored this image, I didn't know if they were having a boy or a girl
so I colored the baby's clothes yellow. I'm hoping that's a neutral
color for babies.

Flower are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

OK,
so here's Tilda with Mr. Rooster from the Little Easter Collection. But I like to call him Franklin. He
reminds me of the chickens we had back in the Philippines. A few years
ago, we went back home to the Philippines for a month long vacation.
And whenever we go home, my ultimate goal is to eat everything that I
can't eat or buy here in the States. The local fruits, delicacies, my
Auntie Marina's dishes and some native chicken soup or dish.

Our
family friend brought us sweet potatoes, cooking bananas, huge
mangoes, jack fruit and all kinds of native fruits. He also brought us 4
native young chickens. Yes, live chickens...2 females and 2 males. And I
thought, this is gonna be 4 delicious chicken dishes. (OK I'm not going
to all the gory details about how a live chicken would end up in our
dinner table)

As
soon as my son saw the chickens, (he was 6 at that time) he was so
excited too. But my excitement was different. I could smell the aroma
of my favorite chicken soup just looking at the chickens. And I
couldn't wait to get those chickens in the pot.

The
following day, I heard my son playing and talking to the chickens and
giving them names. Chickie, Kenny, Daisy and Franklin. Franklin had red
and black feathers. As soon as I heard their names, I knew I was never
gonna see those chickens in the pot. He played with them everyday...fed
them, and took care of them. He even reminded us every day not to hurt
his chickens. Whenever he found feathers on the ground, he would
interrogate everyone and ask "Who pulled out the feathers? And whoever
did it should put them back!"

My
son loved the chickens especially Franklin. He begged me to bring
Franklin with us back to the States. And he even offered to share his
passport.

At the end, I never got my chicken soup. And the memory of Franklin and the gang still remains.

Anyway, back to my card.

I colored the image with Distress Ink Reinkers and I use 2-3 different colors for the feathers.
And I also added some sparkle using Spica pens.

Wild
Orchid Crafts for the flowers and I also rolled up some roses. I used
Glimmer Mist on the red rose. The feathers, lace, ribbon and seam
binding are all from my stash.
DP is from MME Miss Caroline Dilly Dally

Thank for visiting my blog today. I hope you like my card.
I'll be back on Friday with another card!

Have a wonderful day!

PS: By the way, if you wonder what happened to the Franklin and the
gang? Oh yeah...they were in the pot as soon as we flew back here! :)
